Twelve days later, the mighty army left Juyongguan in the north and marched straight to Linhuang Mansion, an important administrative place in the eastern part of Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia that the Jin Kingdom controlled for later generations.
The horses neighed and the hooves rumbled. They had been inspected by Xiao Tang in Daming Mansion before, and the light cavalry formation marching at the forefront of the formation numbered about six thousand. The groups of light and powerful armored soldiers on horseback were murderous, although they were just
They are equipped with light cavalry, but the armor on the bodies of these warriors is also polished to a shine, and the spears and other long weapons hanging on the saddle hooks are shining brightly. The more conspicuous equipment of these light cavalry and bow horses is full of equipment.
The feathers and arrows are scattered in the bags, and the mounted bows are also well maintained during the rest period. If thousands of arrows are fired at a gallop, it will form a momentum like a dark cloud, causing tragedy to the enemy.
of blow.
What is even more conspicuous is that the light cavalry of the front camp are surrounded by a group of military horses when they are lined up. The sharp cavalry, which has four to five hundred cavalry, all have masks on their faces, soap helmets on their heads, black armor and black cloaks.
The mounts they ride on are all high-headed, long-legged, and all black and majestic. The Yanyun cavalry that Xiao Tang originally appointed Hua Rong to directly command has been from the 18th to the 28th... until now, there is no need for it.
We no longer stick to the number of dozens of horses, but select the elite and brave men who are good at riding and shooting among the various horse armies to form the direct line of military horses in front of the Huarong tent, which is now the official bodyguard, pro-army horse army envoy, and commander-in-chief.
.
Although these elite athletes do not yet have Xiao Li Guang's ability to control strings and archery, which is rare in the world, they are still one of the best archers and horses in the world.
What miraculous effects will the Jingqi produce when they follow Hua Rong on the battlefield and focus on shooting the enemy's generals of high and low rank?
After all, it was not the time of battle. The heavy cavalry army led by Hu Yanzhuo also packed up their human armor and vests during the march as usual. However, when the cavalry formation left Daming Mansion for Xiao Tang's inspection, there were also civilians in the city.
When people gathered around to watch, they all witnessed the overwhelming military formation, riding more majestic and tall war horses, making a roar like thunder. The array of a large number of heavily armored warriors armed to the teeth seemed to be moving.
The iron fortress is lined with horse spears and spears, and each person is immediately equipped with various weapons. The sound of clashing with the movement of the horses is heard. The man wears a mask, revealing only a pair of ferocious and mighty swords.
The move involves a horse wearing a mask and wearing a curtain, and from time to time it exhales long white gas accompanied by the sound of its nose. The sound is so frightening that many people in the city who have never experienced brutal killings can't help but feel frightened when they see it.
.
Taking advantage of this period of rest, Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing were able to reunite with Hu Yantong, a brother from the same clan who they had not met for a long time despite having contact in the early years. It turned out that their ancestor was Hu Yanzan, the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty. The three brothers of this clan
In the past, regardless of his position, he was serving as an errand in various military departments in the Song Dynasty. However, he defected to the Xiao, Tang and Qi dynasties for their own reasons. Now he returns with a lot of emotion. Although Hu Yantong is older than Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing
They are much younger, but they are also brothers of the same generation, so the meeting between the two brothers is not very formal. And this time the three of the Huyan family are going north together in accordance with Xiao Tang's order, so they will naturally support each other.
Take care of.
In addition to Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, Yang Zaixing, Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanqing, Hu Yantong, Ma Kuo, Duan Jingzhu, these civil and military officials who were responsible for the northern expedition under the imperial decree of Xiao Tang, the army also included Du Bo and Luan Tingyu.
, Dong Xian, Zhang Qi and other generals gathered their respective military brigades to ensure smooth logistics roads from Juyongguan to Huangfu in the north, and new catapults and other siege equipment will also be transported northward step by step. And Xiao
After the Tang Dynasty had welcomed the army to the Northern Expedition, they quickly issued orders in full swing, ordering the other side to mobilize its heavy troops to take action in the area. After all, although the previous plan was to temporarily slow down the attack on the northeastern part of the Jin Kingdom,
The offensive launched in one corner, but the war that will start in another place, will also be for the future to advance directly to Huanglong by land and water, and seize in advance a few ports where soldiers from all directions can land and station, and then invade inland.
.......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Dongjing Road, Gaizhou (later Yingkou, Liaoning Province) of the Jin Dynasty was originally established according to the military household system of the Jin Dynasty. Among the Jurchen tribes, Bielimai, Bendeshan, Yingchun, and Huosuguan each had several Muke under them. However, they were located in the Bohai Sea.
On the east bank, at the mouth of the Daliao River, in the south corner of Cunfangjun Town near the sea, torches were seen swaying wildly, making the water surface full of swaying dots of red light.
The Jin Army's coastal defenders were momentarily in disarray, with shouts and screams echoing throughout the night sky. Although the rest of the defenders deep on the land also rushed forward under the orders of their generals, it was obvious that some of them
The people looked hesitant, hesitant for a moment. The soldiers of Jin Army at the Hong Kong branch were pushed and shoved by the congestion. From time to time, some people slipped and fell into the water, causing splashes of water. This also made the sudden chaos at the port even more serious.
fierce.
Because under the cover of night, what seemed to be a dark sea surface suddenly ignited with countless soaring flames, which seemed to illuminate the sky in an instant. On countless rafts, hay, kerosene, flames, saltpeter and other flammable objects were prepared in advance.
The fire that shot up into the sky disrupted the tranquility of the night, like a monster running on the sea level but burning all over, rushing straight towards the fortifications set up by the Jin Army along the coast!
Not only was a raft loaded with fire starters set alight, but a plume of rockets bursting with fireworks from behind immediately shot through the sky. Not only did the coastal waters shine brightly, but it also seemed like another sudden explosion in the night sky.
There were countless more starlights, and then they turned into pieces of flying fireballs that fell straight towards the shore. Ships of various sizes behind them also revealed their figures one after another against the backdrop of the firelight, drawing out lines on the sea.
There are straight traces all the way to the harbor branch port on the opposite side.
Seeing the Jurchen Camp Town, which was still dark not long ago, the panic and exclamations accompanied by the fire exploding on the sea became more and more intense, and even faintly reached my own ears. Originally transferred to Liaodong by Xiao Tang
The navy guarding the sea area in Baozhou was putting the Jade Claw Dragon Chenggui on the bow of the fast-moving sea ship, with a high-spirited smile on his face. Then he gave another decisive order, and several ships around him
On the ship, Xie Fu, the Pearl-playing Dragon, Zhai Yuan, the Jin-scaled Dragon, and Qiao Zheng, the Chongbo Dragon, all shouted their orders, intending to take advantage of the chaos of the Jin army on the shore to cover the large number of soldiers behind them as soon as possible to seize the beach and kill the land...
...
But if Xiao Tang knew that Zhejiang Silong, who had led the water squadron army to surprise the Jin army at Gaizhou Linhai Port, would adopt such tactics according to his own will, he would not help but feel emotional. After all, in the original work of Water Margin, Cheng Gui and others used fire and water to attack the water.
The routine was used to attack Liang Shanshui's army, forcing Tong Wei and Tong Meng to abandon the ship and land on the ground to escape. Generals Ruan Xiaoer and Meng Kang also died in fire and water... And now the four Zhejiang soldiers
Dragon once again used the fire platoon method to make a surprise attack, but it was used on the Jin army who was caught off guard at Gaizhou Port!
